"Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day."


Several college friends and I gathered for dinner. New York, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, and Missouri were represented, as well as the countries of Uganda, Nigeria, and South Korea.


"Insight, I believe, refers to the depth of understanding that comes by setting experiences, yours and mine, familiar and exotic, new and old, side by side, learning by letting them speak to one another." ~Mary Catherine Bateson

"We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color." ~Maya Angelou
